Intended Use
TumorSight Viz is intended to be used in the visualization and analysis of breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies for patients with biopsy proven early-stage or locally advanced breast cancer. TumorSight Viz supports evaluation of dynamic MR data acquired from breast studies during contrast administration. TumorSight Viz performs processing functions (such as image registration, subtractions, measurements, 3D renderings, and reformats). TumorSight Viz also includes user-configurable features for visualizing and analyzing findings in breast MRI studies. Patient management decisions should not be made based solely on the results of TumorSight Viz.
Device Story
TumorSight Viz is a cloud-based software system for visualization and analysis of breast DCE-MRI studies. It ingests DICOM MRI data; processes images via deep learning algorithms to perform segmentation, registration, subtractions, and kinetic curve generation; and outputs 3D renderings, parametric maps, and quantitative measurements (tumor volume, dimensions, and distances to anatomical landmarks like nipple, skin, and chest). Used by radiologists in clinical settings to assist in pre-operative planning. The system provides automated measurements that are reviewed by the clinician; it does not replace clinical judgment. Benefits include standardized, reproducible tumor quantification and visualization to support surgical planning.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance validated on 163 samples from 6 U.S. sites, independent of 766 training/tuning samples. Ground truth established by consensus of 3 board-certified radiologists. Metrics included Mean Absolute Error (MAE) for tumor volume (6.48 ± 12.67 cc) and landmark distances (e.g., tumor-to-skin 0.63 ± 0.60 cm). Segmentation accuracy assessed via Dice coefficient (Volume Dice 0.676 ± 0.289; Surface Dice 0.873 ± 0.264). Comparison to predicate (CADstream) showed comparable performance to inter-radiologist variability.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based image processing system; DICOM compatible; cloud-hosted; accessed via off-the-shelf computer. Employs deep learning-based segmentation and automated measurement algorithms. Features include standard viewing tools, MIPs, reformats, image registration, kinetic curves, and parametric maps. No specific hardware materials; non-invasive software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with biopsy-proven early-stage or locally advanced breast cancer undergoing breast MRI studies.

## Performance Tests
SimBioSys has completed performance testing on an independent dataset to ensure TumorSight Viz meets clinically acceptable levels.
DCE-MRI were obtained from seven hundred thirty-six (736) patients (corresponding to 766 samples when accounting for bilateral disease) were obtained from twelve (12) clinical sites in the U.S. for use in training and tuning the device. DCE-MRI were obtained for one hundred sixty-one (161) patients (corresponding to 163 samples when accounting for bilateral disease) were obtained from six (6) clinical sites in the U.S. for use in validating the device. All patients had pathologically confirmed invasive, early stage or locally advanced breast cancer.
Data was collected to ensure adequate coverage of MRI manufacturer and field strength, and to ensure similarity with the broader population of early-stage and locally advanced breast cancer patients in the U.S. Specifically, patient age at diagnosis, breast cancer subtype, T stage, histologic subtype, and race/ethnicity all reflect the broader U.S. population.

The following subgroups present in the dataset were comparable to the U.S. population: cancer subtype, grade, histology, T stage, and N stage.
Images were acquired from sites that utilize standard of care dynamic contrast enhanced MR protocols from GE, Philips, and Siemens scanners with both 1.5T and 3T field strength magnets.
Seven (7) U.S. Board Certified radiologists reviewed 163 validation samples to establish the ground truth for the dataset according to predefined guidelines. For each case, two radiologists measured various characteristics about the cancer including longest dimensions along three axes and tumor to landmark (chest, nipple, skin) distances. Each study was reviewed by two radiologists to determine if the candidate segmentation was appropriate. In cases where the two radiologists did not agree on whether the segmentation was appropriate, a third radiologist provided an additional opinion and established a ground truth by majority consensus.
Independence of validation data from training data was ensured by confirming there was no overlap of patients between training/tuning and validation datasets.
The validation samples were tested using both the TumorSight Viz device and the CADstream device.
The measurements generated from the device result directly from the segmentation methodology and are an inferred reflection of the performance of the deep learning algorithm. For example, the distance from chest or skin is calculated after the deep learning segmentation identifies the region of interest and then the resulting measurement is output.
The mean absolute error and variability between the automated measurements (Validation Testing) and ground truth for tumor volume (measured in cc) and landmark distances (measured in cm) was similar to the variability between device-to-radiologist measurements and inter-radiologist variability. This demonstrates that the error in measurements is consistent to the variability between expert readers. Performance data for the automated measurements is summarized below:
| Measurement Description | Units | Validation Testing<br>(Mean Abs. Error ± Std.<br>Dev.) |
|--------------------------------------|------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
| Tumor Volume (n=157) | cubic centimeters (cc) | 6.48 ± 12.67 |
| Tumor-to-breast volume ratio (n=157) | % | 0.56 ± 0.93 |
| Tumor longest dimension (n=163) | centimeters (cm) | 1.48 ± 1.46 |
| Tumor-to-nipple distance (n=161) | centimeters (cm) | 1.00 ± 1.03 |
| Tumor-to-skin distance (n=163) | centimeters (cm) | 0.63 ± 0.60 |
| Tumor-to-chest distance (n=163) | centimeters (cm) | 0.94 ± 1.34 |
| Tumor center of mass (n=157) | centimeters (cm) | 0.735 ± 1.26 |
The tumor segmentation was assessed using the Dice coefficient, utilizing both the volumetric and surface Dice coefficients, which together validate the location, volume, and surface agreement with a reference standard.
{7}------------------------------------------------
The surface Dice coefficient is particularly useful as a proxy for the accuracy of 3D rendering and surfaceto-surface distances. Additionally, to further assess the tumor segmentation localization accuracy, we used the distance between the centers of mass of the reference standards and device-generated regions.
Results of Dice and surface Dice are summarized below:
| Performance Measurement | Metric | Validation Testing<br>(Mean ± Std. Dev.) |
|----------------------------|--------------|------------------------------------------|
| Tumor segmentation (n=157) | Volume Dice | 0.676 ± 0.289 |
| | Surface Dice | 0.873 ± 0.264 |
We found that all tests met the acceptance criteria, demonstrating adequate performance for our intended use.
### Risk Management
The device risks were managed and controlled following the requirements of ISO 14971 standard. The device hazards were identified, their risk levels were evaluated and mitigation measures were taken to reduce the risk levels. The benefits of the TumorSight Viz software, outweigh the device residual risks.
#### Substantial Equivalence
TumorSight Viz is comparable to the predicate in terms of intended use, technological characteristics, and principle of operation.
